According to data from Qunar, "flower admiring" has become a key trend for the holiday. Currently, spring flowers in Hunan like canola flowers, cherry blossoms, peach blossoms, and tulips are entering their peak flowering season. To facilitate cherry blossom viewing, the Changsha Bus Group has launched a weekend shuttle service, providing free rides to residents and tourists. The route starts from Yanghu Wetland Station of Changsha Subway Line 3 and connects Shantang Station, Muzitang Park, Muziji Community, and Wan'an Home Furnishing Cultural Park. The 45-minute journey offers visitors a seamless spring outing experience, taking them from subway entrance to cherry blossom viewing spots.
